Name: The Green Monstah Fruit Salad
Total time: PLACEHOLDER
Ingredients: 1 small honeydew melon, halved, seeded, and flesh scooped out with melon baller; 2 cups seedless green grapes, halved; 2 ripe kiwis, peeled, halved lengthwise, and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices; 2 - 4 tablespoons simple syrup; 2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh mint

Why This Recipe Works

We wanted a recipe for fruit salad that would be more than simply a mix of fruits. In our Green Monstah Fruit Salad recipe—a fruity tribute to the Boston Red Sox—we found that a simple sugar syrup not only added moisture, but also coaxed flavor from the fruit. Completing the green theme of our Green Monstah Fruit Salad, fresh mint both complemented and contrasted the sweet fruit flavors.

Instructions

Layer melon, grapes, and kiwis in serving bowl. Drizzle with syrup and sprinkle with mint. Toss and serve.

Make Ahead:

With the exception of recipes that use banana, fruit salads can be layered in a serving bowl, covered with plastic wrap, and refrigerated for several hours. When ready to serve, drizzle with syrup and toss to combine.
